An idea for LVH CERT

An idea for LVH CERT
Ron Thomas

Suppose we find out that one home owner needs oxygen another special medications and another a wheel chair? Or any other special need we can think of?

Here is an idea. We use the light posts to convey that information at a glance. We could use colored electrical tape. For instance a green stripe on the post would mean, “Needs Oxygen”. A red might indicate special medicine. Another might indicate pets... Stripes could be used or vinyl dots. It could be visible or unobtrusive. A number of dots might indicate how many occupants are normally there. The light post can be used to carry a whole lot of data at a glance eliminating the need to carry and shuffle lists during rescue operations.

The light post also has the distinction of being out of the danger of building structural damage. Of course each home owner would knowingly allow posting of such data but the homes that take this precaution would certainly be the first to be surveiled you would think..

This idea posted on the LVH CERT site also.
